"Secularism" is by nature and definition a movement of ideas and behavior which advocates a humanism totally without God, completely centered upon the cult of action and production and caught up in the heady enthusiasm of consumerism and pleasure seeking, unconcerned with the danger of "losing one's soul."

Friday Thoughts - Secularism
I have started the mini-mester here at the seminary. Our professor for the Sacraments of Healing has us reading Bl. John Paul II's Post-Synodal Apostolic Exhortation Reconciliatio et Paenitentia. I am thoroughly enjoying it. It is backing up with theology what I have intuited. Many things have struck me so far but JP II's definition of secularism is spot on, so I want to share it with you. (For you long time readers, i.e. me, this goes back to the beginning of the blog, sharing quotes)
